Fried Liver Attack

I personally think that the fried liver is dominance. It comes from the two knights version of the italian game and it is crushing once they fall for it ex. My game aigainst tboy Check out this #chess game: GmorrECMS04 vs Tboy102x - http://www.chess.com/echess/game?id=152208210. The idea of the fried liver is to attack the king and make them loose their castle. So the move knight takes f7 is a defective fork but you will so once king takes f7 you loose your castle so than you play Qf3+ notice how it adds another attacker to the kinght than its pinned so if they play Ke6 defending the knight we play nc3 adding another attacker to the pinned knight. So once they play Ne7 defending the knight we play d3 preparing to pin the Ne7 knight. Notice how black is underdeveloped. And white will have a smooth game

I forgot all about it as it's impossible for players around my level to fall into fried liver attack

The Fried Liver Attack is great for blitz games against players rated below 1200.

I don't play 1...e5, so I don't see it as Black, but I play the Italian occasionally but have NOT played the Fried Liver against good players because, against proper play, it allows Black to equalize in a wide-open position where my edge in strategic planning might be neutralized.

I do like it when opponents play an anti-Fried Liver move like ...h6, which basically wastes a tempo while I'm developing my White Pieces!

agree with mick
i play the italian and rarely employ the fried liver when black brings out the two knights but i like mistimed prophylaxis moves which gives me a tempo

black can defend even with the two knights and can have nasty counter attack if white isnt careful

*there is a video- "how to beat mike kummer and bobby fischer,"- @chess st louis

when i'm black i just play Bc5 to avoid the fried liver

though it is quite powerful against the uninitiated

No compensation? Have you played that position as white? Black is incredibly well developed and white has a bunch of hanging pieces in black's territory. 

 

 I admit that b5 isn't the best defense though, I don't feel the need to defend it, it mainly just leads to an incredibly unclear position. After 5: ...Na5 though, black is just winning.
